Acts 5

1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.

1 有一个人，名叫亚拿尼亚，同他的妻子撒非喇卖了田产，

2 With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

2 把价银私自留下几分，他的妻子也知道，其余的几分拿来放在使徒脚前。

3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?

3 彼得说：「亚拿尼亚！为什么撒但充满了你的心，叫你欺哄圣灵，把田地的价银私自留下几分呢？

4 Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”

4 田地还没有卖，不是你自己的吗？既卖了，价银不是你作主吗？你怎么心里起这意念呢？你不是欺哄人，是欺哄 神了。」

5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.

5 亚拿尼亚听见这话，就仆倒，断了气；听见的人都甚惧怕。

6 Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

6 有些少年人起来，把他包裹，抬出去埋葬了。

7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.

7 约过了三小时，他的妻子进来，还不知道这事。

8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”

8 彼得对她说：「你告诉我，你们卖田地的价银就是这些吗？」她说：「就是这些。」

9 “How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

9 彼得说：「你们为什么同心试探主的灵呢？埋葬你丈夫之人的脚已到门口，他们也要把你抬出去。」

10 At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

10 妇人立刻仆倒在彼得脚前，断了气。那些少年人进来，见她已经死了，就抬出去，埋在她丈夫旁边。

11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.

11 全教会和听见这事的人都甚惧怕。

12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.

12 主借使徒的手在民间行了许多神迹奇事；他们 都同心合意地在所罗门的廊下。

13 Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.

13 其余的人没有一个敢贴近他们，百姓却尊重他们。

14 Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.

14 信而归主的人越发增添，连男带女很多。

15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

15 甚至有人将病人抬到街上，放在床上或褥子上，指望彼得过来的时候，或者得他的影儿照在什么人身上。

16 Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.

16 还有许多人带着病人和被污鬼缠磨的，从耶路撒冷四围的城邑来，全都得了医治。

17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out

17 大祭司和他的一切同人，就是撒都该教门的人，都起来，满心忌恨，

18 and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.

18 就下手拿住使徒，收在外监。

19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,

19 但主的使者夜间开了监门，领他们出来，

20 “Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”

20 说：「你们去站在殿里，把这生命的道都讲给百姓听。」

21 At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.

21 使徒听了这话，天将亮的时候就进殿里去教训人。大祭司和他的同人来了，叫齐公会的人和以色列族的众长老，就差人到监里去，要把使徒提出来。

22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:

22 但差役到了，不见他们在监里，就回来禀报说：

23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”

23 「我们看见监牢关得极妥当，看守的人也站在门外；及至开了门，里面一个人都不见。」

24 When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.

24 守殿官和祭司长听见这话，心里犯难，不知这事将来如何。

25 Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”

25 有一个人来禀报说：「你们收在监里的人，现在站在殿里教训百姓。」

26 At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.

26 于是守殿官和差役去带使徒来，并没有用强暴，因为怕百姓用石头打他们。

27 They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.

27 带到了，便叫使徒站在公会前；大祭司问他们说：

28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”

28 「我们不是严严地禁止你们，不可奉这名教训人吗？你们倒把你们的道理充满了耶路撒冷，想要叫这人的血归到我们身上！」

29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

29 彼得和众使徒回答说：「顺从 神，不顺从人，是应当的。

30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.

30 你们挂在木头上杀害的耶稣，我们祖宗的 神已经叫他复活。

31 God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

31 神且用右手将他高举 ，叫他作君王，作救主，将悔改的心和赦罪的恩赐给以色列人。

32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

32 我们为这事作见证； 神赐给顺从之人的圣灵也为这事作见证。」

33 When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.

33 公会的人听见就极其恼怒，想要杀他们。

34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.

34 但有一个法利赛人，名叫迦玛列，是众百姓所敬重的教法师，在公会中站起来，吩咐人把使徒暂且带到外面去，

35 “Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.

35 就对众人说：「以色列人哪，论到这些人，你们应当小心怎样办理。

36 Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.

36 从前杜达起来，自夸为大，附从他的人约有四百，他被杀后，附从他的全都散了，归于无有。

37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.

37 此后，报名上册的时候，又有加利利的犹大起来，引诱些百姓跟从他；他也灭亡，附从他的人也都四散了。

38 So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.

38 现在，我劝你们不要管这些人，任凭他们吧！他们所谋的、所行的，若是出于人，必要败坏；

39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”

39 若是出于 神，你们就不能败坏他们，恐怕你们倒是攻击 神了。」

40 At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

40 公会的人听从了他，便叫使徒来，把他们打了，又吩咐他们不可奉耶稣的名讲道，就把他们释放了。

41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

41 他们离开公会，心里欢喜，因被算是配为这名受辱。

42 Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

42 他们就每日在殿里、在家里不住地教训人，传耶稣是基督。
